im having trouble installing mods i downloaded, heres the read-me to one of the mods, can some1 explain it to me

QUOTE
===============================README============================
NukeBeta Version 1.0 for Strike Fighters Project 1 and Wings over Vietnam.

Warning: This is a Beta, and a freeware Beta, to boot. It works fine on my system, under Windows XP & 98, and with SP3 for Strike Fighters and SP1 for WoV.

Credit must be given to the original authors, Deuces for the original.ini work & TGA files, and Tomcat74 for the Mk43 Nuke.

*****************************************************************
INSTALLATION:

1) I highly recommend that you download and install the latest SFP1/WoV weapons pack (dated 11/19/04 at the time of this release), available at www.biohazcentral.com. This Beta is designed to work in conjunction with that weapons pack, and besides, it'll also give you three nuclear weapons to play with, instead of one : )

2) Before you install the Nuke Beta, you may want to play it safe make back up copies of the following files, if you have them: Soundlist.ini, Missileobject.ini, and Weapondata.ini.

2) After you've installed the weapons pack, copy and paste (or drop n' drag,etc.) the folders included in this beta into your Strike Fighters or WoV directory, maintaining the same directory structure, and overwriting the existing folders and files.

3) That's it! Nukes should now be available for loadout, from 1960, onwards.

Um,AoA that mod is a bit old (2004) why not try downloading the latest weapon pack (03-07-06) that comes with the B-61,Nuclear Mk.83,Mk-43,AIR-2 Genie and AGM-69 SRAM.Also don't expect Ace Combat style effects (ie,more like many explosion sprites put together to look like a fire mushroom cloud, though the Airbrust brightness is pretty good) also intsall the latest service pack and patch first,you'll find you'll get the same effects plus it will make it more stable.

Here's the links:
WoV Patches and Service Packs
03Jul06 Weapons Pack
Another good site

Hope that helps! biggrin.gif

I just got this game and man its a blast, Graphcis look great, has a great choice of US planes from the Vietnam war, Muliplayer you can play the campaing in Co-Op from bolth sides! The only thing I did not like about the game is its sound is medicore, the AIM-9 tone is not as loud as it should be and some of the jets lack sounds wise, but overall a good sim.

I heard it was an ok game, but there were a lot of problems with it, so I decided not to buy it. If you could give us a bit more of a description about it, perhaps I could change my mind?

WOV is built on the Strike Fighters engine. I have Strike Fighters and I love it. Its almost as moddable as Microsoft Flight Simulator. The add-on community is huge and very dedicated. Best of all, add-ons work across all the games that use the Strike Fighters engine.

I recommend the latest title to use the SF engine, Wings Over Europe. It covers several what-if Cold War scenarios.

You're right. I think WOV probably has the best terrain out of all of them, but its nothing compared to the newest flight sims. Still, its pretty fun stuff. Wings Over Europe should have a photoreal terrain mod released shortly.

Wow, it looks like the Thirdwire series is taking off here.Myself ,I think WOE is the best one out there, avionics and base aircraft wise. Grinch, Which version of SF you're using cause I also have SF Gold but the merc insignia is a green scorpion.

They're not giving me many hours at work since school is out for the summer and nobody comes into the labs. So I decided to make a Strike Fighters campaign from scratch. Not much progress so far, but I think I might actually pull it off...

Hey what does the chase camera feel like in WoE/WoV/SF? I know it doesnt have the gunsight but is it suitable for dogfighting with missiles? Or shooting down slower targets such as bombers and Transport aircraft.

Can some1 post some screens of the chase camera being used in action?

Has anyone tried to dogfight using the chase camera?

I prefer games which have the chase camera because I can't stand being confined to the small cockpit. Thats just me I guess. I need to see my plane when I'm flying.

thanks.

I've tried its to hard, you need to read your radar and stuff like that, and your gunsight makes all the difference. So no in this game its not really fun to try to fight in the chase cam.
